It's almost time
Jesus’ return is very soon. Some people might stop reading this knowing that the post is centred on the second coming of Christ because it’s “a scary” topic.
Nevertheless, I have a few questions.
What’s so scary about the world ending?
What’s so frightening about rapture and Jesus’ glorious return?
The return of Christ should be the happiest day for someone who lives for Him because you’re meeting your first love and, as a member of the church, you are meeting your bridegroom ( John 3:29 TPT). It should be the day we wait for expectantly.
But that isn’t the case.
And the simple reason for this is because we really don’t know who we are going to meet. We are primarily scared of Christ’s coming because we don’t know if we’ll make it. This is because we don’t genuinely have a personal relationship with Jesus. Because if Jesus was truly a friend, we would be ecstatic about His return.
Another reason could be because we are frightened for those who don’t know the Lord and we watch them settle in their life of sin, instead of helping them get onto the path of righteousness.
These two issues root from fear. However, God says that He has not given us a spirit of fear ( 2 Timothy 1:7). To eliminate fear, we must learn to love Jesus. Once we fall in love with Jesus, our hearts will yearn to be at His feet and we will desire to be seated with Him in the heavenly places.
Jesus Christ came to save us from the wrath of God. Once you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour, you are saved. You become aware of the love God has for you and this pushes you to obey Him and ultimately carry your cross, neglecting all earthly desires. With this, you also learn to love the Lord Jesus more and wait expectantly for His glorious return.
So if you have this fear, I sincerely pray that Jesus will reveal Himself to you and that you would give Him the opportunity to do so. I pray that you fall in love with Jesus Christ and that your heart would wait eagerly for His majestic return❤️.
